NG-23 / SilverSat

Probably due to this like it had before? Blue probably because the Earth night glow? :slightly_smiling_face:

Tonight’s pass over the U.S. was -NOT- on the SSDV schedule, but I tracked it for practice.

Glad I did! Looked like SSDV but then a packet is a packet. On replay/decode, turned out to be all kinds of non-SSDV frames; many included ASCII to make it more interesting!

This is a tweet attempt from the satellite. Unfortunately the tweet did not complete before the pass ended.

ciao sto utilizzato per prove il sistema direwolf.exe Pachet con il mio call da questo errore invece da altri no!!

ERROR!!! Unknown APRS Data Type Indicator “U”

Ciao! Non preoccuparti. Di solito è causato da pacchetti corrotti a causa del rumore RF. La soluzione potrebbe essere provare a ridurre il livello di input audio.

1857utc pass was a bit weak here at 46° max elevation, but got a few decodes anyway. No SSDV frames, however.

Don’t recall seeing the

!"#$%&'()*+,-./01234567

sequence in these decodes before; has that always been there?

look like this another data

seeing this too in this obs

btw i update the rx.py script here so can show and collect other non ssdv data. auto save as .txt and .bin data.

add -v or --verbose for optional print hex and text data on screen.

beautiful data

Something unintended, this script has now become supportive for all kinds of AX.25 decoding from Direwolf. Any satellites using AX.25 can be supported. :grinning_face:
